Calcification in epulis osteoplastica.

Endocardial calcification of left atrium, tracheobronchopathia osteoplastica, and calcified aortic arch in a patient with dyspnea.

A 69-year-old female patient was admitted to our hospital for further cardiac evaluation with symptoms of dyspnea (New York Heart Association class III) and peripheral edema. Her history revealed artificial mitral valve replacement due to mitral stenosis 8 years earlier, severe chronic pulmonary hypertension, and severe tricuspid valve incompetence. Electrocardiogram showed normofrequent atrial...

Tracheopathia osteoplastica.

Tracheopathia osteoplastica is an unusual disease first described by Wilks in 1857. Even to the naked eye it is easily recognizable by the striking changes present in the trachea and major bronchi. It is a condition characterized by numerous mucosal, cartilaginous, and calcified plaques which project into the lumen. Since Wilks's original observation, only one additional case (Bowen, 1959) has ...

Congenital epulis.

Congenital epulis of the newborn is a rare gingival tumor that occurs along the alveolar ridge. We report the prenatal sonographic and postnatal MR imaging findings in an infant with maxillary and mandibular congenital epulides.

Epulis in the Newborn.

Congenital epulis.

Epulis is a rare tumor of the newborn, also known as granular cell tumor of the newborn or Neumann's tumor. This tumor arises from the mucosa of the gingiva, most commonly from the anterior part of the maxillary alveolar ridge, and is typically seen as a mass protruding out of the newborn child's mouth, which may interfere with respiration or feeding. Epulis is seen only in the newborn and is a...
